That's 114 contenders! Amazing job everyone!

we got 323 submissions and labored over every single one until approximately 2am, which is why this bracket looks so fucking incomprehensible. (shoutout to tumblr user asparagoos for creating The Milves Rubric and user pastramis, who plays fantasy football and knows brackets.)

anyway, full match-ups are below the cut. starting tonight (3/30) we'll start with uhh the upper left-hand chunk today, then make our merry way down the list three times a day until the first elimination round ends. the top scoring milves will not appear until the second elimination round, aka when this bracket is legible.

Moth & Butterfly

When I'm stuck in the mirror

When I'm circling the drain

It has never been any clearer

The source of all my pain

Leaves fall, Autumn's call

A far frontier from home

Burning my wings away

The beauty of your flame

Mother of Mars, alone

Hold me in your arms again

Let me exclaim your name

Into the cold tombstone

Until I slurp sloppily

In a second hand Jalopy

Trust me, sure isn't a Janis Joplin

They weren't playing, chopsticks

Don't know how to use them

Turtle blues maudlin

All kinds of toxic

I hid in the cockpit

As we flew over Jerusalem

May have misheard the witches when they said

You would rue Salem

Guess it happens when you refuse to date them

And a hex isn't meant verbatim

Cross the line backwards

Horns instead of antlers

The sound they make, answered

Candles and lanterns

I saw faces in the smoke

Before we spoke

This is where the second wind begins

Where bated breath ends

Where my angels coalesce to sing

Where everything that used to make sense descends

Down there where I'll meet her

Unfurl broken wings

Isn't that right, Demeter?

[gasparlouvat]

Summary: Gaspar and his brothers attend the first dual Ascension. The youngest, Criou, is injured. The Louvat matriarch convinces Gaspar to offer Criou to Kieran.

The Louvat brothers enter the temple, positioned at the back of the Ipswich Coven. Donned in thick black robes and a sharp dark mask, worn by those who'd successfully ascended before them, together they appear as nothing more than an ominous shadow. Leading them is Gaspar, whose eyes remain on Kieran walking ahead. To his side is Criou, the youngest, and the last of them to ascend. Not even his robes could conceal his jittering, and it is felt by those behind him.

"Gaspar," Rainer whispers fretfully, appearing from behind with a sense of urgency. "Gaspar, I have a bad feeling about this." Taken aback by his brother's thoughtlessness, Gaspar places a hand on Criou's shoulder first, silently telling him to ignore Rainer. "No, you don't." Their eyes meet and the look he gives Rainer is unmissable: Do you think this is helping? "What did I tell you?" Given what had happened at the Carnival, Gaspar had allowed Rainer to join them in their support of Criou under one condition: to keep his damn mouth shut. "Another word and you'll be waiting in the car." Rainer hesitates. His gaze dots around, flickering more and more to the side, though it fails to reach Criou. Eventually, he timidly mutters, "Understood."

Three knocks signal the start of the ceremony. Each brother takes it in turns to wish their youngest good luck, offering last-minute advice in surviving the ascension, and on the off-chance he might not, their final words disguised as a well-meant joke.

"I'm scared," Criou finally admits. "I don't want to die." "Criou," Gaspar says, placing his hands encouragingly on either side of Criou and lowering himself so they're stood at the same eye level. "You have been preparing for this. This will be the most powerful ascension in history. It is a blessing to be a part of it. And you," He smiles beneath his mask and it could be heard in his voice, "You will be remembered as one who survived it." "What if I don't?" "You will." "But what if--" "Look around you," Gaspar's tone takes a sharper edge. "Every witch in Salem is here. They will all be watching. The Supremes will be watching. Do you want them to think you're weak? Do you want to give them something to laugh about?" In New Orleans, Gaspar had more patience for his brothers' nerves. This time, here, in Salem, he could not afford them to be in fear. "You are not a boy anymore, Criou. Remember why we are here." After a beat, Criou asks, "Will it hurt?" Gaspar merely tilts his head at the question. Whilst Criou had never attended an ascension before, its toll on one's body was not a secret. "I mean, after..." "After what?" "After the ascension," Criou casts his gaze to his feet. "When I will my powers to Kieran." "No," Gaspar lies. "That won't hurt."

Criou strides towards the witches around the pentagram, his posture exuding newfound confidence and hope. The candlelights flare in sync as they hold hands with one another. The brothers wait with bated breath, each glance filled with unspoken tension. All remain solemn and focused, except for Jehan, who entertains the attention coming from female witches with a mischievous wolf whistle.

Gaspar's eyes narrow with resentment as The Supremes make their entrance. Their regal bearing commands the silence of every witch in attendance as they glide along the dais. The air grows thick with a mix of reverence, envy, and anticipation, every eye in the woods fixed on the powerful figures now seated before them. One day, it will be Kieran sitting there. And, if Gaspar plays his cards right, he'll be sitting right beside him. Patience, patience...

[...]

"Rainer! Take Criou and go home." A deep voice roars over the screams and Rainer acts immediately at Gaspar's command. Criou lays on the floor, cries of agony tearing from his throat as he'd been struck by the flames that'd exploded from Lilith McGabe. "The rest of you, stay with me." If the witches decided to turn on them, then they'd stand by Kieran and fight alongside their Coven. A part of Gaspar even welcomed it.

[...]

Back in Ipswich, the night sky hovers over the farm and envelopes the landscape into an unnervingly eerie darkness. A cold, biting wind whistles through the trees, their branches casting distorted shadows that dance across the ground, like open arms of their ancestors welcoming the brothers home.

The wooden floorboards of their old house creak under heavy and hurried steps as the boys run through its aged halls. The thin walls leave little to the imagination. Their disorder echoes through the house and reaches the tea room, where their mother, Clementine, spends most of her evenings.

"Are the boys fighting again?" She asks coolly, sitting in a floral-patterned armchair, its fabric worn and torn, in lieu of a greeting. In one hand, she nurses a glass of wine as she stares into the fireplace.

"Unfortunately," Gaspar replies, closing the door behind him. From here, they can hear the horses, stomping their hooves against the hard ground and letting out shrill whines that seem to cut across the night.

"So we lost Criou." A fair assumption, considering what happened last time with Yidier and the disarray it left them in. Arguments over who should take his place made it clear that they all wanted to live just a little bit longer.

"No, he's just injured," Gaspar explains what happened at the Ascension, as he often did. This time, however, she looks away from the fireplace. It might be the first time he has ever seen her look surprised. "A McCabe?" She gasps in part disbelief, part fascination. "Is Octavia dead?" "Not sure." Clementine hums idly and turns back to the fireplace as she takes another sip of her wine. "And Kieran was happy with Criou?" A beat of strained silence. "I made Rainer bring him back so he could heal him. I didn't--" Her head snaps back up, a piercing gaze landing on Gaspar's. "Why didn't you take him to Kieran?"

"He's injured. He could've died on the way." From a single look alone, she demands further explanation. "When he was hurt, he was calling out for you. He was scared. He didn't want to die." Around his brothers, Gaspar is everything the eldest brother should be. In front of his mother, he turns into a young boy. He can't hide how this pains him, even if he struggles to admit the truth, "And I had to lie to him. I told him it wouldn't hurt, when Kieran takes his powers. Maybe I didn't want his last thought to be that his own brother lied to him." No one had asked him that question before and he hadn't been prepared for it. "And?" She says pointedly. "And I thought you could maybe talk to him." "Who does that help? Certainly not me. Certainly not him. Just you, it seems. Do you see how cruel it is to bring Criou home, only to take him away again? We have said our goodbyes once and we will have to say them again."

Somewhere in Gaspar's silence he wonders whether they can keep Criou and replace him with another witch to offer to Kieran. If his powers had manifested in the way they should've, he'd be more powerful out of all of them. Surely there was some value in that.

"Don't be tempted by greed, Gaspar." Her words cut straight through him. "You'll end up like your father. He was much too soft. You have to be better than that."

No longer stunned in her ability to read him, he simply lowers his head and sighs. "I understand. It was just hard, that's all."

"My darling boy," Clementine says, setting her wine glass aside and standing up to place a warm hand on Gaspar's cheek. "You've done well so far. I'm so proud of you." She smiles at him in a way that settles all of his worries and puts him back on the right path. "Criou will be the last, and then you can focus on Salem." A beat. Everything about her turns cold again. "Now go. Get Criou ready and take him to Kieran. And bring me another bottle, will you?"

[resolutepath]

Salem was used to sharing open spaces with others, such was a fact of life. They usually let the world slip away from them when in the middle of creating a masterpiece, and yet, the phoenix is aware of Gilgamesh, aware of his curious gaze and it's distracting. Hands pause in clay, head turning to gaze at the King over their shoulder, one golden brow winging upward. ❝ ━ Have you come to watch how it's coming along ? I cannot say I'm pleased that you're distracting me, King. ❞ An amused smirk curls pink lips, and they turn back to their task, ❝ ━ You have duties, no ? This won't happen overnight. Give me free reign to do what I'm good at. ❞ It's not a dismissal, but Salem would hope Gilgamesh doesn't bother them unless it's something worth interupting Salem's creative process.

The piqued curiosity for the artist is a new sensation for the covetous King, used to his wishes being in that which he can lay claim to without abandon, the treasures of the world all of his to own. And yet, this gift is not his, nor something he can lay his hands upon, something instead that he can only watch as he watches them create exquisite designs with their hands, to breathe life into the dull and fill it with wonder and beauty. It is alluring to watch, a bated breath held in the very moment, and vexing in the way it calls for his attention.

"I grow weary of the duties of the day and as King I can do as I please..." There is some truth in his words albeit only that they extend as far as claiming a moment's respite from his clay tablets and audiences. Truthfully he is diligent and will press on with his task to the best of his abilities, once he has sated the itch that calls him to investigate the artist's work, to see what new creation is being drawn from nought but raw materials.

"Come, join me for a meal." Though offered in question his tone is nearer command, the mark of one too used to getting their own way. "You would not have it said that Uruk and her citizens were bad hosts to you now, would you? I would be most insulted. " A meal and then they can both return to their respective tasks and that gnawing feeling within might finally leave him be.

[wizard-island-trading-co]

*a large cauldron appears at the end of the dock, a letter written in crayon is taped to the outside*

To my dear Wizard Island Trading contemporaries,

I write to you with humble askance that I may join your fleet of harbingers. I prithee, disregard the fact that this letter comes to you in the scrawl of a knave. You see, I am on the run from my coven for various… schemes… of a pyramid variety. They are not amused by my shenanigans and are currently hunting me, along with the lycanthropes whom I swindled out of their life savings.

I am a very skilled business witch.

Anyhow, I humbly request you test the mettle of my cauldron and see that it is a portend of the power and wealth I could bring to your coven. I shall await your response with bated breath.

Signed, the great witch Salem (who is currently covenless).

P.S. do not look into or attempt to use this cauldron. You will find a very sad witch at the bottom who hasn’t eaten in a week. Though she may resemble me, I am very cool and buff and not at all crying as I write this. I repeat, DO NOT look into the cauldron.

Let's see here..."to Wizard Island Trading Co"..."fleet of harbingers", oooh, I'll have to use that one later!..."on the run"... "shenanigans"...

"I humbly request you test the mettle of my cauldron"..."portend of the power and wealth"...

Very well.

*the Skeleton produces a nonmagical blunderbuss, and fires at the cauldron*

⟩ any tattoos? nope. plenty of ideas, tho. problem is, with this kind of thing i'm indecisive as hell - and, get easily bored of looking at something/the same thing for a long time (my hair is proof of this, i recently chopped it all off). but anyway, been thinking of finally getting around some of those ideas i've had for over a decade.

⟩ any non-writing hobbies/interests? traditional art. i.e., sketching, drawing, yadda yadda yadda. i'm currently struggling with making the transition into digital art... i'd say music, too, but, i haven't touched my guitar in ages.

⟩ what genre(s)/theme(s) do you struggle to write the most? smut. lol

⟩ share three random facts about yourself that your mutuals may not know about you. hm. i've a congenital heart condition and have had three open heart surgeries for it. english is my second language so, the occasional grammatical error will occur (in? on? english is stupid). aaaaand, true crime hits a lil too close to home (long story, maybe another time lol).
